Hello Linnin how are you doing hope everything is going well for you
. I'll join you with a good measure ( work in the morning) of Jack Daniels, Tennessee Whiskey (neat of course)

Hi Shawn! Yes, I am actually in better shape than at first thought. Sailed right through the angieogram. No blockages and therefore no stents needed. Chest X-rays came back clean. Pretty remarkable for a chap that smoked & drank heavily for 43 years. It's a good thing that God loves me and Kieth Richards equally well.Hello Linnin how are you doing hope everything is going well for you
I have an appointment for cardioversion on Jan 3rd to shock my heart back into its natural rhythm. It doesn't always work, but I am counting on it as I have a slot open in a blues ensemble if I can get my timing back. I used to have impeccable timing and my meter was perfect. 
Hey all, after reading all the good word here I just swooped up a totally mint condition (if slightly smoky smelling) Rumble 500 v3 head and 410 cab for $300! Looking forward to pushing a bunch of air with my J bass!
Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club @redwoodghost!
I hope it smells of Norwegian Wood. 
I asked on here, and it was apparently a common thing with those units. I ended up returning the one I had.
Thanks, yes I found them and Lecover. The only difference I saw was that Lecover clearly shows that its padded, and I dont see this mentioned on the MDB site? On a side note, the MDB site: the 90's called, it wants its website back
Yes the MDB website is atrocious but I have two MDB Rumble covers which I'm happy with
I ended up ordering from Custom Amp Covers Inc. Custom Amp Covers makes the covers no one else does!, family owned and made here in Michigan. They also make Tuki covers at the same location.
Holy smokes (hey look, a pun!) that's a great deal! Basically buy one get one free!

Christmas is Coming! I have been given some sets of electric guitar strings; instrument cables and headstock tuners among other things and I have put together two Surprise Santa Gift packs for needy youths that play guitar in my area. We all have something to give. Merry Christmas to you all!

Ok, so I used my 500 combo with the 210 extension can at its first gig. I have to say I am pretty happy with the results. Granted at all the venues we play we have PA support, so I was curious as to see if dumping my 810 Ampeg was a good idea. I have to say that I'm pretty thrilled with it. Not too mention the set up was far less painless. I still had the volume quite low and could hear it thumping away clearly behind me.
I could hear myself very well (we play some large venues, big loud heavy metal band) and my tone was excellent. I couldn't of asked for more for its initial voyage.
The opening band set up a large Ampeg rig like my old one in front of my Rumbles, pretty much towering over it. I was getting a little worried about my choice until I could see him mumbling under his breath as he lifted the head to the top of the cabs. I just pointed to my little Rumble set up and told him this is the way to go. After the show i think he agrees.
Simplicity is key and that's what I now have in this new rig. Next month we hit the House of Blues and we will see how it goes there.
The modern world is a great thing. I can't see myself committing to the big rigs anymore. Too much gets to be too much. I was a bit nervous to see how the rumbles were going to perform...if anyone had any doubts, they don't anymore.
I've seen some doubters, but I am here to tell you that the combo and the extension cabs can carry their weight pretty much anywhere.

My Rumble 500 combo arrived today. It's definitely easy to carry. I'll have a better chance tomorrow to test out its sonic capabilities. Sweet!
Thanks for your post. I have a question. What do you think you are losing in sound by having the same power ie 500 watts but 2x 210 as opposed to 2x410/810
I have seen a few here announcing the arrival of new Rumble gear and being happy with it. Great, but you haven't asked for numbers. If you want a number, let me know. I don't assign them unless you ask.
Rumble On!.
Rumble On!.
Welcome sir, You are Rumbler # 701.
Were it me, I'd go with the 1x15.

Yes, yes, and yes! I'm loading a bunch of stuff in my truck and some of the items definitely made my back twinge (like the large band-saw on the floor stand.) As it came time to cram in the Rumble 500 I was thinking, Ugh! More weight! I was so delighted to be reminded of the user-friendly weight of that amp! Yeah yeah yeah... it has great power and tone too.
